Isn't it amazing that christianforums.com is blocked... but atheiestforums.org is left open? Either the blockers are just plain stupid... or they understand that this is a forum a person could actually learn from.... or maybe a little of both? ^_^

I'm gonna have to check and see if it invalidates my forum user agreement (like holy unclefucking hell @ all the little regulations). So maybe I will And why the hell can't you search without being a member???

Quoted here for Sae:

Quote:Since being someone in apologetics needs vast reserves of information and knowledge I think we need to have a place where we can go and get information from. So I am making this thread so that as a body, we can suggest books, articles, lectures, debates and websites to go to for information. Also, what books, articles, lectures, debates, and websites that shouldn't be used. This is so that we can all use the resorces that others use so that we can become more productive defenders of the faith. Besides books and other things, we can offer Bible verses that are helpful too.

- J. P. Holding also has a pretty solid "Apologetics Arsenal" section.
http://www.christian-thinktank.com
- Glen Miller, someone who I owe for my drive for an interdisciplinary approach to things. His list of books he has used is of extraordinary size, and should you find some interesting topic that you think you need to know more about, you can certainly find some titles among his horrendous list.
http://www.ntgateway.com
- Run by Dr. Mark Goodacre, and has links to a lot of good stuff, including direct links to downloads of past editions of the Journal of Biblical Literature.

I really don't want to read up on their apologetic reasoning, for the reason that I don't want to be bummed again with a stupid deluge of sophistry and irrelevant logic. But others can.

PS - My favorite quote fragment from the Powerball thread:

Quote:Here is MY personal struggle. God owns ALL the money. He is the Owner
of the universe, so it is His money and we are to be good stewards of it.
I spend maybe 1 to 4 or 5 dollars a year buying occasional powerball
tickets. In the LAST year specifically...I believe I only bought 2 one dollar
tickets eight months apart.

You're restricted to where you can post IIRC. I think the teens area is the most restricted. The place is too big for a start.. it's the antithesis to RDF - both are as bad as each other.

Invest those blessings wisely tho' ...whatever the fuk they're all about LMAO. Link us your threads so we can have a laugh too k

Now wait just one moment.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeroy_Jenkins is a christian worried about spending 5$ on POWERBALL?! hock:

At least he had chicken.

When I was a Christian our church advocated not reading anything that was not Christian. The reasoning being that Satan would use that to corrupt your mind and spirit with doubts about your beliefs. I have known people in the church I attended who stated outright that they would not read anything except the bible. Religionists are the most closed minded ass holes on the face of this earth.

Nothing like a place to start http://www.christianforums.com/t7420601/

I really do have to ask them about the segregation sometime soon... if it was maybe just one forum for Christians only... I could kinda get that. But just omg....

And @ the site adds... I mean: SERIOUSLY...

Edit: Oh lol... guess what? http://www.christianforums.com/f214/ I can't see anything here... because evidently you have to be a 'MAN' to read anything in the men's corner?! O.o I just think that's plain retarded, what do you guys think?

http://www.christianforums.com/t7419136-21/ My first real response... I'll have to see what comes of it

There really isn't anything there anyway lol (in the porno section). & you think men & women are the same? How strange

& it looks like you barged in on a private convo almost... I guess they gotta get to know you first. Well at least they said hello!

Oh and ads... Firefox and addblock is the way to go

Do those work with macintosh? For some reason, I've been getting tracking cookies from something on the site (which is just wonderful >_< I have to purge every few pages...).

As for men and women being the same? I don't think that we are different enough to censor information based off of one's sex Mentally... men and women are very similar... and I don't think that "Where we talk about *grin* men things" is appropriate in the slightest. If there was nothing IN the section... then why is it even there, esp. with a last post in the section by 'Private'?

And evidently wiki links and logic are not to be posted for the poor christians... as is evidenced by that post not being in the forum Silly moderators... if faith is so easily shaken by asking simple questions and presenting a logical compromise for both parties: then what is that faith based on?

At least fr0d0 here asks questions and doesn't deny evolution or homosexuality

I was actually banned approx 30 min after bringing up Christian Atheism. Most disgruntled forum members gave me abuse, but one woman sent me a PM with 'so much for freedom', which was nice

They banned you for being an atheist who continues to live with Christian beliefs?

Imagine how fast they'll ban atheists who don't live with Christian beliefs ^_^
